Multiple stars in Capricorn plus a small Jupiter.

Hello,

Well, with my feet warm and cosy in my Nisqually boots, I braved the cold night air in Brisbane only to be greeted by what could at best be described as mediocre seeing conditions. Probably a combination of the jet stream and the lower westerly’s, buffeting my rig throughout the session.


I decided to cruise some doubles in Capricorn and plugged in the colour DBK21AF04.AS at the prime focus of the M180. Later on, I slewed to Jupiter and even at this small image scale, Jove was wobbling like the proverbial jelly on a plate.

Thanks for looking!

Dennis
